"I am wondering if u can help/advise me a bit. A conundrum.. maybe u
have seen this discussed.
Using Google as an example, you can search "boys" or "girls" or
whatever and if u click on Images, it will give you the thumbnail of an
adult image even if it is on a blocked site.
You can set Preferences on Google to use Safe Searching which
significantly cuts down the number of images you will find, but does not
eliminate them. I have been hoping our kids haven't played with this
too much, but alas, some have been caught and they want me to fix it.
Well, that is hard. For one thing, I have been trying to research and
find out how I can set the preferences for the whole network, but I
don't think that is possible. Each computer would have to be set.
Ouch! Or I could block images all together, but if I do that, I am
cutting off visual learners from an entire resource because that will
block all images.
sigh... have you heard of librarians out there struggling too? Has
anyone thought of something clever? Do u agree blocking all images is
not a great idea?"
